Chapter 159: Secret

“Ms. Chen and Ms. Cui have really good fortunes this year.”

Ms. Chen said modestly, “Haha, I treat all my students equally.”

As for Ms. Cui, she didn’t even mind teaching a slow-witted class, so there was certainly no difference to her.

However, Ms. Chen emphasized, “Sheng Yang is really an easy student. She doesn’t talk much and is always well-behaved. Some students who get good grades are very arrogant and don’t listen to their teachers; she never acts like that.”

Ms. Chen admitted she was really lucky to have such an excellent student.

Li Mei sat alone in her seat, feeling abandoned. Alas, those people were really fickle.

She heard that when Ms. Cui began to teach Chinese in Class 7, Sheng Yang immediately scored 145 points on the Chinese exam which showed she was actually good at Chinese and she performed so poorly on Chinese exams earlier just to kick her out.

Li Mei was so angry that she didn’t couldn’t sleep for three full nights and she became even angrier when she learned from the deputy principal that the principal actually knew about this. She felt everyone was targeting her and the principal was partial to Chen Lan and wanted to give her that opportunity.

And now, seeing Ms. Chen and Ms. Cui acting so smug to get the chance to attend a high-society banquet, she was infuriated.

Tsk, what was the big deal about it?

She was so upright and frank that she didn’t want to accept a student with a dubious background out of fear that she would ruin the class atmosphere and lead other students astray. Was that wrong?!

Thinking this, Li Mei brought out the transcript from the eight-school joint exam and glanced at it.

Sure enough, Sheng Yang got first place in the entire grade and second place in terms of total score.

Although she was number one in mathematics this time, she didn’t get a full score. She only got 147 points, which was only one point higher than Han Jingyu.

Li Mei felt a little better. After all, she didn’t get a perfect score. If not, was she still a human being?

After three o’clock in the afternoon, Sheng Yang was going downstairs carrying her schoolbag. On the stairs, a tall and handsome figure came towards her.

The moment Han Jingyu saw her, Han Jingyu couldn’t help but say, “Sheng Yang.”

“Huh?” Sheng Yang stopped several steps higher than him, forcing Han Jingyu to look up at her.

He didn’t like this feeling but the distance of these steps seemed very difficult to cross, too difficult…

Her skin was tender and fair and she was looking at him peacefully with her bright amber eyes.

Han Jingyu’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly and he finally asked, “How did you get to know my little uncle?”

He was really curious. His little uncle never showed anyone face but was so careful with Fang Duo, Sheng Yang’s friend.

And why did his little uncle say he wasn’t worthy of Sheng Yang at all?

Yes, although he wasn’t good enough for Sheng Yang now, he was working hard. How could his little uncle degrade him to that extent?

Thinking this, Han Jingyu secretly clenched his fists.

Sheng Yang looked at him and suddenly smiled meaningfully. “Why didn’t you ask your uncle? Why did you come to ask me?”

Her eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

He must’ve been cold-shouldered by his little uncle, so he came to ask her.

Of course… that wasn’t the only reason.

Han Jingyu clenched his fists harder, feeling annoyed yet helpless about the gap between them. She could see through everything, but he didn’t know anything about her.

After a long while, he said slowly, “If you don’t want to tell me, forget it.”
